Power has been restored to all 2,144 customers, according to Mark Gross, director of communications at the Long Island Power Authority.

"At about 5:30 a.m. this morning, service was interrupted to 2,144 customers due to primary wires down on Atlantic Street and on Stoothoff Road. Service was restored to all customers at 6:45 a.m., except for customers on Atlantic Street. Those customers were restored at 7:55 a.m.," Gross said. 

By 8:30 a.m., power was restored to most customers, according to LIPA's website, with less than five customers without power. Those customers should have power back by 10:00 a.m. according to the website.
